Advanced Forwarding Strategy Towards Delay Tolerant Information-Centric Networking

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is among the promising architecture that can drive the need and versatility towards the future generation (xG) needs. In the future, support for network communication relies on the area of telemedicine, autonomous vehicles, and disaster recovery. In the disaster recovery case, there is a high possibility where the communication path is severed. Multicast communication and DTN-friendly route algorithm are becoming suitable options to send a packet message to get a faster response and to see any of the nodes available for service, this approach could give burden to the core network. Also, during disaster cases, many people would like to communicate, receive help, and find family members. Flooding the already disturbed/severed network will further reduce communication performance efficiency even further. Thus, this study takes into consideration prioritization factors to allow networks to process and delivering priority content. For this purpose, the proposed technique introduces the Routable Prefix Identifier (RP-ID) that takes into account the prioritization factor to enable optimization in Delay Tolerant ICN communication.
